Pen 11
This is my entry for the Ballpoint pen contest. It is a segmented Cigar pen made out of Osage Orange, Red Heart, Cocobolo, Spectraply, Ebony and Maple. After glue up I use a see through ruler to line up the pattern, then turn between centers to 5/8 diameter. I drilled the blanks on the lathe using a Nova Pen Plus chuck. I used epoxy to glue the tubes in then I used TBC bushings and turned between centers. Sanding, 10 coats of CA finish, micro mesh to 12000, and plastic polish, to complete.
